Set the Table for a Zombie Sweets Feast

When Marie Dannettelle of Sweets Indeed was asked to create a dessert table for a client, she spared no attention to detail. Fans of the show will appreciate the clever design and can read about how she created it all here.

Folks planning a zombie-themed party that isn't necessarily Walking Dead related can also find inspiration from her survivalist table design and dessert selections like chocolate-brain-topped cupcakes or cream puffs that ooze "green guts." Creeptastic!

Play Zombie Games

Zombies eat brains. Then they eat more brains. Then they—do they do anything other than eating brains? Well, at a zombie party, they play party games such as this Zombies Beware ball toss from Confetti Couture Events.

Bake a Zombie Cake

Either way, this cake with green hands sprouting out of the top is a clever way to satisfy any zombie hunter's sweet tooth.

Serve Brain Cupcakes

Zombie slayers might enjoy chocolate birthday cake, but everyone knows a zombie's appetite craves only one thing: brains. These brain cupcakes from Sunny by Design's zombie apocalypse party are the perfect treat for the hungry dead. The themed signs are a bonus—and would make great favor tags if you wanted to wrap the cupcakes up and send them home as party favors.

Make Zombie Virus

At My Mommy Style, they're not running from zombies, but rather lining up to become them. Check out their super cool zombie party for kids, where guests drink the virus to turn into zombies (complete with face paint to help the transformation).

The marshmallow shooters are another fun idea, both for hunting zombies and for taking home as party favors!
